SPS works the same as Exchange 2K in that regard. When items are deleted fromthe store, the store does not necessarily shrink. White space is created in thestore and that space can then be used in the future. This speeds up the processof store maintenance in the background because the store will not have to growwhen new docs are added. It will instead use the white space.

Are you running out of space or simply trying to be efficient with the space?
